MAKE GOOD YOUR ANOINTING

-

Samuel 23:1-2,5-6

These are the last words of David: 

“David, the son of Jesse, speaks— David, the man who was raised up so high, 

David, the man anointed by the God of Jacob, 

David, the sweet psalmist of Israel.

“The Spirit of the Lord speaks through me; his words are upon my tongue.

“Is it not my family God has chosen? 

Yes, he has made an everlasting covenant with me. 

His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. 

He will ensure my safety and success.

But the godless are like thorns to be thrown away, for they tear the hand that touches them.


David was not the first to be anointed king in Israel, he was the second after Saul. 


What stands out with David was that he made good his anointing. He didn't allow it to get to him so much as to become proud and arrogant. He knew whose he was and he ensured that he gave God His honour at all times.


Why do we then wonder when the Lord was favourable to Him and made him the lineage to the coming Messiah and till today he stands as a testimony to the whole of Israel.


What were his last words? Praises to the Most High God. The state of his heart was always in resonance with God. Definitely he was a man after God's heart.


We still sing the songs he and those who were with him wrote after so many centuries. Some of them are prophetic words and prophesies which are included in that which was revealed in the new testament.


2 Corinthians 1:20

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.


Listen fellow brethren, we need to make good our anointing.


What has God called you into in Christ Jesus, don't throw it away, don't turn to mammon, pride, carnal relevance or play around with it. Make good your anointing!


Do we say that David didn't make mistakes? No. Yes he did, but he didn't stay there he sought for forgiveness, dusted off the dust and continued with the Lord. Even when the Lord chastised him for his wrong he took it in good faith and didn't take it out on anyone.


What was dynamic? His heart was always with the Lord.


Where is your heart anointed one of the Lord?


Where is the fruit of your anointing, is it still profitable for the Lord's purpose or have another taken His place? Have you traded it for your own personal agenda or that of another?


It is time to get back on track, let us learn from David and make good our anointing.


Listen, you think you are small, No, no matter your level in life, be you a child, spouse, parent, leader whatever you are, you must make good your anointing.


Remember that David began to make good his anointing even as a little boy guarding his father's sheep!


Wake up!


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father get me back on track no matter how far I have derailed. Keep me with You Lord that I may make good my anointing. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
